Chapter 74 The Governor who left a way out
Leaving the White Jewel, the Governor passed through the barricade built by Perfectcourt's guards, got into his carriage and left this bloody place. pier.
It must be said that in just two days, more than two hundred people were killed here. The rich smell of blood has exceeded the limit that normal people can endure.
Not to mention a pampered civil servant like the Governor, even the knights and guards around Perficott couldn't bear it. At least when the Governor left, he saw some guards in a hidden corner. Vomit.
Thinking of this, he almost felt sick, but he still resisted this disgraceful behavior and urged the coachman to leave quickly.
The coachman obviously didn't want to stay in such a hellish place, so he quickly drove the carriage away from the dock and turned to another street.
Looking out the car window at the prosperous and bustling city that was now only desolate, the Governor's face became very ugly.
On the carriage, the governor's secretary was looking at the governor with a worried look, as if he wanted to care whether the governor's trip had achieved its purpose.
He came with the governor, but he was not put in by the guarding knights, so he kept waiting in the carriage.
"Her Majesty the Baroness refused. You go back and inform all departments that they must cooperate with Her Majesty's purge operation and completely purge the independent faction in Xinshak City." Feeling the secretary's gaze, the Governor directly issued the order. A new order was issued: "Outside of the order, send a report to the mainland through the telegraph room of the Governor's Palace to inform the mainland of the assassination of the Baroness and the massacre in New Shaker City.
Don't add any extravagance to the content, just report it truthfully and see how the local community responds. "
"Yes, Lord Governor. "The secretary nodded in agreement. He is the confidant promoted by the governor, and these things have always been entrusted to him.
While responding, the secretary also said with a worried look: "Mr. Governor , Your Excellency, the Baroness, will destroy the entire New Xia Ke City if she continues like this! Just the impact of martial law on the market in the past two days has caused losses of almost 10,000 gold pounds. If this matter cannot be ended as soon as possible..."
"Okay, shut up! "The governor cursed in annoyance, but then explained with a bit of resentment: "I am the Queen's special and plenipotentiary envoy! A hereditary baron of the empire who can inherit the title at the age of fourteen!
I am just a colonial governor. Regardless of my status, I am not qualified to stop someone from doing what she wants to do!
Unless this matter is an order from the local people, with the identity and power of Baroness Brandlis, she can kill anyone she wants to kill! ”
Even without the letter from the eldest princess, the governor would not have much ability to fight against Perfectcott.
Although it sounds like the colonial governor is a powerful person Title, he does hold the military and political power of the entire New World colony, but compared with a hereditary baron and a royal special and plenipotentiary envoy in the empire, it is completely worth mentioning
The colonial governor. Enjoying huge power in the colonies, the premise of all this is to obtain support from the mainland.
If the natives spare no effort, then the colonial governor can naturally implement his will in every corner of the colony. < br>
But without local support, let alone seizing military and political power, I am afraid that even government orders will not be able to leave the Governor's Mansion.
And a colonial governor is important to the empire but not that important. After all, there are too many people in the empire who are qualified to serve as colonial governors. Only the unlucky ones will get this position. They were sent to colonies far away from home. However, this position is not completely without benefits. At least for the governor himself, as long as he serves a full term without making any mistakes and properly safeguards the interests of the empire in the colonies, then when the governor returns to the mainland after completing his term, he will usually Everyone will receive a noble title.
Although it is only a title of nobility awarded, it has no fiefdom and cannot be inherited hereditary, but it still symbolizes the status of the nobility.
So the governors usually still work hard to fight for the interests of the mother country and implement the will of the empire into all aspects of the colony.
The governor of the New World did this before, but now, along with the letter from the eldest princess, he had a different idea in his heart.
Immediately, he said to his secretary: "After there is news from the mainland, if we are asked to stop Baroness Brandlis from her actions or let her go, then everything will follow the rules. Come on, business matters
But if the local people spare no effort to support Baroness Brandlis, then you should find a way to secretly contact the independents, secretly release some of them, and communicate with them. Keep in touch, do you understand?”
“I understand, but why do you do this?” The secretary looked confused. He understood the first sentence, but the second sentence of the governor asked him to touch it. Lost my mind.
Hearing the secretary’s question, the governor suddenly became very angry. He hit the secretary hard on the head and scolded him dissatisfiedly: “If you weren’t my nephew, I really want to beat him to death.伱!Why are you so stupid!”
The secretary could only accept the punishment obediently at this time. After all, in addition to being the governor, the governor in front of him was also his mother's brother. He was able to get the job of the governor's secretary because of this relationship.
Otherwise, how could he, a newly graduated college student, get such a good job? Even if it was only in the colonies, he could be regarded as a member of the imperial civil servants.
As long as he works hard, when the governor's term ends, he can return to the homeland with the governor and enter the real imperial authority.
Because of this, he has been studying hard, and he has become more and more understanding of the governor's meaning, and has gradually become the governor's most effective confidant. However, this time he really failed to deal with what the governor said. Understand the meaning of this.
Faced with his confused nephew, the Governor could only teach him patiently: "Baroness Brandlis's special and plenary power is to be responsible for the empire's Arctic scientific research plan. Now she is because of Strictly speaking, it was beyond her scope of authority to massacre the independents in New Shakh City after being assassinated.
It makes sense for the empire to stop her or let her go, because being able to obtain special powers at her age means that she is deeply trusted by the royal family!
So these two decisions made by the empire are just based on the degree of her favor, and have nothing to do with us. Naturally, there is no need to express a position on this matter, just keep it official!
But if the Empire fully supports her, it means that what she wants to do is very important to the Empire, and this has something to do with us! I have to leave myself a way out! ”
In the end, the governor still did not tell his nephew the content of the letter, and he did not want such a major secret to become known to everyone.
